I bought this guy bc I wanted a toon accurate Megatron in robot mode in my collection. I could have gone the Newage route since I already owned the toy version and absolutely love him. However, the price Magic Square is offering and me wanting something different tempted me to make this purchase. The only thing that was holding me back with Magic Square was that I thought the upper torso on him looks a bit too big and his transformation and alt mode just wasn't well designed. Anyway, here is what I thought of him in hand in comparison to Newage and it's higher price point.
In hand, he looks damn good in robot mode. His upper torso, which I thought was too big and out of proportion before, actually looks correct and toon accurate. The material is not bad, slightly hard/soft plastic but not really as gummy as the ones Magic Square uses on all their current Legends scale figures. Articulation is pretty good. Paint, or what little there is, is just okay as the red on the elbows wasn't painted on straight. As for transformation, it's terrible as I have expected from all the videos I have seen. The alt mode looks okay, but not as nice as the Newage's. There are some QC issues. The leg joints are a little loose and some of the tab in the legs don't fit as tightly as I would have like. For $45, I think it's an okay price, though I think $40 would have been better. You do get all the accessories but the only want I use is the different faces.
I have always thought that he was too beefy and that Newage's Megatron looks better. However, now that I have both in hand to compare to, I think he looks proportionally correct, while the Newage's just looks too skinny. Newage is charging about $10 more and I think that is a fair price. For the extra $10, you get better paint job, better quality, better material, better design, and both modes look pretty good. One thing I really like about Newage is the head sculpt bc it's more pleasant to look at, while the Magic Square has a very bloated looking face.
So do I recommend him. Yes, but with some caveats. If you want a toon accurate Megatron and will pose him in robot mode only, then yes, I recommend him wholeheartedly. If you want a fun transformation Megatron with great quality material and paint job, you want both modes to look good, and you have a little extra cash to spend, then I would recommend Newage's. If you have a lot of money, then I recommend the best of both world, Magic Square in toon deco, and Newage in toy deco. If you were to ask me which is the better figure in terms of toon looks alone, then I will have to say Magic Square hands down.
